Another amazing 1969 Pigpen performance hard to believe he'd be gone in a few short years after this. Heady psychedelic blues

Spectacularly gorgeous, this is wonderful Jerry just sings it like a lullaby and the strumming on the acoustic is beautiful.

Great early version sung with conviction and clarity, backing has that cool psychedelic circus feel to it.

Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 24, 1978
Capitol Theatre

Rember this is the tour where Jerry's voice became ragged for a while but the nailed the jamming, Crowd loves it when they start up fire out of Ollin Arrageed. Interesting slightly different tone to Jerry's guitar playing. there is a nice video of this up on you tube
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

There is a sadness to this version that makes it powerful and extra heady if a little tough to digest at times
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Madison Square Garden

Super long and spacy great pairing the Fire is not as inventive as say 5-26-1995 but tit is hot none the less
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

This Fire to me is absolutely special, almost as fond a memory as the Unbroken chain debut. I had seen fire many times including an all timer in Philly at JFK in 1989, but this Fire was out of this world and so far ahead of anything else they did in 1995, truly AMAZING. When Jerry kicks in the Alien tone I get chills, breathtaking

Ill never forget this pairing my exgirlfriend was just standing there slack jawed the band was killing it.
